If you are ever wondering what flavor of something I might want, I want it on the record that if S’mores is ever an option, I want that. S’mores cheesecake, s’mores Pop-Tarts, s’mores Oreos, s’mores cereal, s’mores ice cream.

I want it all. Graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate are the made for each other, and made for me.

I am by nature a very “indoorsy” person. I do not like camping. Only one thing will convince me that I should consider sleeping outdoors. The promise of slow roasting my ‘mallow and then lighting on fire for that little char, before sandwiching it between 2 graham crackers and half of a Hershey bar. I will sleep on the ground for that.

My love of S’mores runs deep, but my love of sleeping indoors and air conditioning may run deeper. I am thusly very interested in all s’mores related confections.

These S’mores Cookies are one of the greatest things to ever come out of my kitchen. I am obsessed with them. The crushed graham crackers give these cookies a thicker, chewier texture. And studded with plenty of chocolate and marshmallow bits, it’s the cookie of my dreams. The texture and the flavor are out of this world. I enjoy them warm, cooled, and straight from the freezer. And the fact that I enjoy them indoors, with indoor plumbing and the internet and the TV, may make them my favorite S’mores ever.

S’mores Cookies

To make these cookies, you must procure these fantastic little marshmallow bits. Mini marshmallows will not work! You’re looking for the little dehydrated marshmallows; like you find in hot chocolate mix. Luckily these tasty little guys are easy to find. I have found them most often with the regular marshmallows, but I’ve also found them by chocolate chips, and hot chocolate. Or, on the giver of all good things, Amazon.

These cookies can have a tendency to spread a bit. To mitigate these, bake at 375 if you live at high altitude, and add in an extra 1/4 cup of flower. Refrigerate the dough between batches. If your oven has a convection setting, use it!

These cookies bake up the best when they are a pretty hefty cookie. Drop by heaping tablespoon full. I find they bake up nicer if you roll the cookie a bit. But take comfort in knowing that if they do spread a tiny bit, the caramelized buttery sugar bits are insanely delicious. You really can’t go wrong.

The dough is bonkers delicious. You’ve been warned.

Make these cookies for someone who loves s’mores! Which is also someone who loves happiness. Because people who don’t love s’mores are clearly sociopaths.
